two-way-socket-pipe

Given two net.Socket, pipe their data stream in both direction.

This is useful when trying to build things like TCP proxies. It also automatically closes the opposite socket, when either end closes.

npm install

npm install --save @js-util/two-way-socket-pipe

Example usage

PS: This is incomplete code, you will need to modify for your actual use case.

// Load the module
const twoWaySocketPipe = require("@js-util/two-way-socket-pipe);

// Create the server with the socket listening event
const server = net.createServer(function (localsocket) {

	// Somehow get a remote socket connection
	let remotesocket = yourFunctionToGetRemoteSocketHere();
	
	// Lets connect the two sockets together
	// use true for the thrid parameter to enable verbose mode.
	// (aka easier to debug with console.log)
	twoWaySocketPipe(localsocket, remotesocket, true);

	// ...
});
